Obscure legal term. Uncited for 14 years. I can't find any significant coverage discussing this concept (quite a few very brief mentions). I would prefer a merge (amounting to a mention given the article is two sentences) and redirect but I can't think of where to. PARAKANYAA (talk) 09:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge without prejudice to animus nocendi, where it is already discussed. The term is used in Italian books that seem to be discussing the intention to commit homicide [1] [2] (see especially the section heading on pages 726 and 1679 respectively). Cf the expression "animus necandi" which certainly means the intention to commit homicide [3] [4]). I think it would probably be a good idea to add "animus necandi" (which seems to satisfy GNG) to the article as well. We do not presently have an article on voluntas [5].

  I am apparently stupid, because I somehow did not notice that article existed (despite the fact this one links to it...). Yeah that's a great target. Should I withdraw this then? PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:04, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I have no objections to you doing that if you wish. I have no objections to you immediately merging the article if you wish. James500 (talk) 01:53, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
